J'ai du bon tabac


This post card gives the lyrics to a traditional French children's song. I don't know how suitable it is for children since the song is about one guy having some good tobacco and about not wanting to give any to the other guy! I guess the French are not so much into being "PC" i.e. politically correct.
Pink Lady used to sing this in school. She went to the only French school in Finland and was speaking French from age 4. She in fact learned to read and write in French before learning to do so in Finnish (her native language). So in some ways, Pink Lady (or should it be La Dame Rose?) is culturally also French.
